I packed my only guitar in my Chevy Silverado I drove down to the corner store gassed up and headed North Said goodbye to mom and pops Church parking lots, roadblocks, and potholes Left the name my mama gave me right there rocking on the porch
Whoa I never seen so much concrete before I ain't in the country no more
I got woke up this morning to a choir of singing sirens I went out barefoot to watch 'em go by cut my foot on sidewalk glass Gave a hungry man a dollar, he was begging, he was crying A little later on he was drinking on, a 40 in a paper sack
Whoa I never been got like that before I guess I ain't in the country no more No, I ain't in the country no more
Nobody talks like I do, nobody here at all No, hell yeah, hey y'all But, oh, this raised on hard work boy's gonna live a dream till he dies I wish I was, but I ain't in the country no more In the country no more Go
I'm damn proud of my roots my red wing boots and my blue collar This chip here on my shoulder is a town I can't let down Lord knows I ain't no Jesus but I'll proudly be the martyr Spread the word about that nowhere place that makes the world go 'round
Whoa I ain't in the country no more No, I ain't in the country no more
Nobody talks like I do, nobody here at all No, hell yeah, hey y'all But, oh, this raised on hard work boy's gonna live a dream till he dies I wish I was, but I ain't in the country no more In the country no more Go
No, I ain't in the country no more I ain't in the country no more Go
